Kellen's MK6 GTI

Wanted to introduce myself, and show you guys what I have been working on.

Bought this brand new in April of 2010, did the usual lighting, coils and wheels.

Then I started talking with some friends (Shawn and Rene) and air was something that eventyally had to happen. I slowly started piecing together the kit I wanted.

Airlift Slams up front.

I didnt want Airlift rears, So I went the RE-5's. Also got Dual 444c's, sway bar brackets, SwitchSpeed, and the 5 gal skinny

Next was the install. I headed down to Nicks for some help and a garage. With help from a couple good dudes we went at it. Funny part was, I drove to OR from WA to do the install. I remembered everything but my wheel lock key. Haha, that was a nice 5 hour journey trying to get that figured out.

Getting the rear all wired up, thanks Rene!

1st run down to the gas station at about 2am...

Here is a shot of the interior gauges. Went with a dual Podi gauge setup (Thanks Greg!) and put it in the euro cubby...

Now I just need some wheels

Wanted to thank everyone for their help. Shawn, Nick, and Sam for help with the install. Rene for all the wiring help. And Will and Rali at BR for the great customer service and parts.

exhaust port was stuck partially open today, letting out all the air in bag #4 (passenger side rear). After hitting the switch a couple times it sealed again. How concerned should I be about that? under 1k miles on the system

Mine don't. Do you mean XL's or Airlift performance? I have the performance ones. Will at Bagriders said those are probably the best bags to run in the rear on a mk6 GTI. Smoothest ride he said.

Just wanted to let you know only difference from rear xl to preformance is only the brackets they use same bag. Airlift told me while I was shopping since I did not want to rub. I personally had both brackets and I prefer the non xls
